[They Might Be Giants - I've Been Seeing Things lyrics]

I've been seeing things
I've been seeing things
Don't have answers but I've
Got lots of questions

Car pulls up, someone gets out
Hands someone else a violin case
I'm trying not to let them
See me looking at them
But, I'm pretty sure there was a doll inside

Keep your eyes peeled and you'll see stuff
Which at first seems like
Unimportant irrelevant things

Can't just ask some perfect stranger
What are you hiding in your violin case
Shadow them at a distance instead
Try to get inside their head

Where'd they go now I got distracted


They gave me the slip, wearing a disguise
That lady, must have ditched the case
Hid the doll, what's she up to now?

Trail went cold by the airport road
Watching them stack containers in rows
Seagulls, helicopter, wind blown trash
Something doesn't add up

I've been seeing things
I've been seeing things
No one asked but I'm paying
All kinds of attention

Later I'm watching the news report
Camera pans across a crime scene
Unremarked upon detail: empty violin case
Okay maybe not the same case
Different material different color
Still you have to wonder am I
The only one who knows?

I've been seeing things
I've been seeing things
I've been seeing things
I've been seeing things
